Every time there’s a call for more gun control, or for outright firearm banishment, it’s based on the idea that if there are less guns in circulation, there will be less violence. Proponents of this plan frequently imagine a world with no guns as a safe place where humans have evolved past the need for mindless violence, where nobody has to lock their doors or worry about much more than the most minor of offenses.

If you’re an average American, you probably think that preppers – people who stockpile food and supplies in case of disaster – are a little bit insane. After all, normal, healthy people don’t get reality shows, right? In our culture, “prepper” has become synonymous with “conspiracy theorist,” which, according to the mainstream media, is another word for a tinfoil-hat-wearing lunatic. Meanwhile, there’s a hurricane bearing down on the East Coast, wildfires have run rampant through California, and flooding has been wreaking havoc in Texas…is it really so crazy to be prepared for stuff like that?
